A 32-year-old Athens woman was treated at St. Mary's Hospital after someone attacked her in the Parkview Homes parking lot off Baxter Street as she got out of her car about 2 a.m. Friday, Athens-Clarke police said.

The woman told officers she heard several women's voices and felt someone choke her from behind, causing her to pass out. When she came to, her head was covered in blood and her boyfriend was standing over her, police said.

The man took her to the emergency room but left in a taxi before officers could talk to him.
